The 8th International Exhibition & Conference on Pulp, Paper & Allied Industries is scheduled to take place from December 3 to December 5, 2026, at the Chennai Trade Centre in Nandambakkam, Chennai, India. This event is set to attract a significant number of exhibitors and visitors, with the exhibition area expected to cover a substantial space.

This biennial conference is a platform for industry professionals to showcase their latest products and innovations. The event will feature various seminars and conferences aimed at discussing the latest trends and challenges in the pulp and paper industry. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights into sustainable practices and technological advancements that are shaping the future of this sector.

One of the notable highlights of this exhibition is the strategic acquisition announced by ITC Limited. On April 1, 2025, ITC signed a Business Transfer Agreement (BTA) to acquire Century Pulp and Paper (CPP) from Aditya Birla Real Estate Limited (ABREL) for Rs. 3498 crore. This acquisition is expected to strengthen ITC's Paperboards and Specialty Papers Business, offering increased capacity, economies of scale, and opportunities for expansion. The deal is anticipated to be completed within six months, pending regulatory approvals.

The integration of CPP into ITC's portfolio will drive operational improvements and contribute to ITC's sustainability goals. This acquisition aligns with ABREL’s focus on real estate development, allowing both companies to pursue their respective growth strategies effectively.

For exhibitors and visitors alike, this exhibition promises to be an enriching experience filled with networking opportunities and valuable knowledge sharing sessions. Whether you are looking to explore new business partnerships or stay updated on industry trends, this event offers a comprehensive platform for growth and development in the pulp and paper industry.
